Solution
Nitin takes rest for 10 minutes after every 20 km
=> For a period of 150 km, he will take rest = $\frac{150}{20} = 7.5$ = 7 times

=> Rest period = 7 * 10 = 70 minutes
Time taken to cover 150 km at a speed of 15 kmph
= $\frac{150}{15} = 10$ hrs
$\therefore$ Total time taken including rest period = 10 hrs + 70 minutes
= 11 hrs 10 minutes
